We were both born and raised here in Manteno. Rondy has been a volunteer firefighter and a lab manager at Bunge Oils. Annette was a cake decorator before delivering mail out of the Manteno Post Office. We raised our family, coaching kids sports in the summer, fishing, swimming, ice skating, and cross country skiing. Community service has always been a big part of our lives. We are active at our church, are active members of the Manteno Sportsman's Club, and helped manage the Manteno Golf Club.
We are glad to share the history of Manteno with our guests from all over the world. We feel like we are "ambassadors" of Manteno, which we call "the small town with a BIG future."
